Commercial Arbitration in the Arab Middle East: Shari'a, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt
By
Samir Saleh, Foreword by V. V. Veeder QC
Description
In this second edition of Samir Saleh\\\'s
major work on commercial arbitration in the Arab Middle East, the
basic format has been maintained, while the author, drawing upon his
intimate knowledge of the region and considerable practical
experience as an arbitrator, has completely revised and updated the
book so that it offers a fully modern account of domestic commercial
arbitration practice, with an international dimension, under the
sharia and in Syria, Lebanon and Egypt.
The first part of the book, dealing
with sharia, continues to draw on the four major sources of sharia,
with illustrations taken from the four main Sunni schools that have
influenced its development. This part underpins all the remaining
chapters which deal in turn with different national systems, building
on the discussion by reference to local statutes, judicial precedents
and commentaries. Detailed analysis of law and practice is supported
by extensive footnoting, guidance on further reading, and insights
into the prevailing business practices within each country.
For practising lawyers and arbitrators
a feature which will be particularly welcome is the inclusion of
up-to-date discussion of practice and procedure for the execution and
enforcement of domestic and foreign awards, and the legal pitfalls
awaiting the unwary. The new edition has also been considerably
amplified to include international aspects of arbitration as
reflected in judicial decisions and academic commentary in each
territory.
Samir Saleh, Attorney at Law, is a
Legal Consultant in Islamic and Middle Eastern Law, based in London.
A Member of the LCIA, he is regularly appointed to arbitrations by
the ICC International Court of Arbitration.
